“Do You Put Winning The War Ahead of Everything Else? Are you willing to have party politics dropped until after the war has been won? Do you believe that Canada must ‘carry on’ to the end, and support civilization with men, money, munitions and food? Ought every ability and activity of Canada to be devoted to winning the war?

“Appreciation of Musical Festival. While the extremely hot weather has to some extent marred the success of the Veterans Music Festival, those who go to the City Hall are pleasurably surprised at its coolness.

The programmes for the remaining nights cover a range of delightful classic selections with a generous sprinkling of popular airs. … It is to be hoped that the remaining concerts will be attended in a way appropriate to the beauty of the music and the good of the cause.”
